Referral Directory

PLEASE NOTE: While you may still view an archive of our previous referral directory below, we indefinitely suspended updating this page in March 2020. We are now collaborating with partners in Boone County to provide a searchable and continuously updated list of local providers at https://bocomoproviders.org. To add your information to this list, please contact us at youthmentalhealth@missouri.edu for instructions on how to do so. Thank you!

Our referral directory provides information about therapists and mental health providers in Columbia, Boone County, and Central Missouri. The referral directory initiative is supported with funds from the Center for Evidence-Based Youth Mental Health, MU Psychological Services Clinic, MU Department of Psychological Sciences, and Boone County Children's Services Fund. All practice information including training, specialties, and certifications are provider-reported. The Center for Evidence-Based Youth Mental Health does not verify or endorse these trainings, specialties, and certifications.
